WASHINGTON, DC—Looking at recent primary races and devastating losses of two key governorships and a liberal stalwart senate seat, democrat leaders are struggling to stave off election loses…..in 2012.Until now, the democrats thought they would have enough time to turn their collective fortunes around, but Beltway insiders are on the outs with an increasingly angry electorate who are tossing establishment candidates out like yesterday’s trash.
Robert Gibbs July 11th statement on Meet the Press expresses the conventional wisdom coming from the democrat party—republicans are poised to take the House, and the Senate isn’t far out of reach. Barbara Boxer faces a tough reelection challenge as does Russ Feingold. In congressional races across the country, conservative outsiders are in strong positions to win their race. Republicans need 39 House seats to take the majority, and 10 Senate seats. As of mid-July, there are more than 40 House seats trending toward the GOP and four to five Senate seats look winnable.
Democrats are repeating the painful results of hope and change.
